Cross-Cultural Management(2500 words)
You are to write a coursework based on the following scenario:
Sam is a senior project manager a UK-based multinational company with subsidiaries all over the world. During his/her time in London headquarter, he/she works in a multicultural environment where his/her colleagues come from diverse backgrounds. Meanwhile, Sam often has to travel to other countries and work with people from different cultural backgrounds. To him/her, challenges of working cross-culturally often come from areas including communication, negotiation, leadership, motivation, teamwork and global assignment.
Your tasks:
1.Choose 2 areas from the above six organisational behaviour. Specifically, one from communication and negotiation, and one from leadership, motivation, teamwork and global assignments.
2.Outline and discuss the cross-cultural challenges Sam may face in each of your chosen areas. Support your discussion with relevant theories and materials (e.g., journal articles, news articles, books).
3.What is your advice to Sam for managing challenges in cross-cultural situations in general? Please discuss.
Task specific guidance:
•Your individual coursework should outline and discuss cross-cultural challenges and influences in different organisational behaviour. Simply describing or listing possible challenges will not answer the assignment question. Your explanations must be grounded in theory. In other words, your explanations must consider element/factors/components set out in the various theoretical perspectives we discussed in this module. Please refer to and review core and detailed knowledge and theories from topic 11 to 19 lecture recordings and chapter 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 13, 14, 15 from the core textbook below. Please make sure that you understand the theoretical perspectives and models you use very well – e.g. what they are intended for, how they work and how they are related to other perspectives. More importantly, a synthesis of all topics learned the module in your own words, such as how cross-cultural challenges in different organisational behaviours are connected with each other, can distinct your mark under this criterion.Browaeys, M-J., & Price, R. (2019). Understanding Cross-Cultural Management. Harlow: Pearson Publication.
•Your individual coursework should highlight your critical understandings of cross-cultural challenges in different organisational behaviours. You need to demonstrate the awareness that cross-cultural challenges are context-specific, the notion of cultural stereotypes as a challenge and the explanation of how cultural paradox matters in these organisational behaviours.
•You must propose advices which are relevant to theories learned from the module and to the cross-cultural challenges your coursework report mainly discusses.
•You are also expected to use a variety of reliable sources to obtain information to support your arguments. For example, you might provide statistic results or a qualitative account from academic journals to support the idea that Japanese culture is characterised by high context communications. Relying on just one or two sources will most likely not be enough.
•You should also aim to build up your arguments on the basis of reliable information sources, such as reputable professional newspapers and magazines (The Economists, Harvard Business Review, …), websites of reputable non-governmental organisations and commercial and non-profit organisations (OECD, UNCTAD, WTO, Hofstede Insights…), government sources (Gov.uk,…) and academic journals and books.
•Suggested structure: Introduction (about 100 words), Main body with some subsections (about 1800-2000 words), Conclusion and recommendations (about 400- 600 words). Each subsection should deal with a specific topic relevant to your choice of areas – e.g. challenges in cross-cultural communication, challenges in cross-cultural team building, and so on.
General study guidance:
•As this is an individual coursework, you will demonstrate your competences in meeting all marking criteria. Please refer to Appendix 1 for further details.
•Avoid description of the content of material referred to – critical evaluation is required where specified.
•Cite all information used in your work which is clearly from a source. Try to ensure that all sources in your reference list are seen as citations in your work, and all names cited in the work appear in your reference list.
•Reference and cite your work in accordance with the APA 7th system – the University’s chosen referencing style. For specific advice, you can talk to your Business librarians or go to the library help desk, or you can access library guidance via the following link:
